I love days when I don’t have to go to work! I can do so many wonderful things! I started the day with a little photo shoot,
taking pictures of a couple new skirts to put up on Etsy. There is this amazing alleyway next to my
house that is filled with colorful graffiti, so I can literally walk 2 minutes
to a perfect back drop for my photos!
I came home, cleaned up some chicken poop and collected a bunch of feathers. We didn’t choose our chicken by breed, just took a group of random chicks my dad’s neighbor hatched. And at first I was disappointed that 2 of them are white, because I thought their feathers wouldn’t be that exciting. It didn’t occur to me then that this was a wonderful thing because now I can dye their feathers. Apparently you can use good old Rit dye easily and get all kinds of colors. I also have been interested in experimenting with pokeberries, so I plan to dye feathers this way as well. I found this great site for information on using pokeberries, which you may very well already have growing in your back yard!
Along with the feathers we also harvested these amazing veggies and made a big salad for lunch. Then I picked a ton of herbs and made Italian herb bread. Actually I made 3 loaves of bread; one for dinner tonight with a few friends, one for making bruschetta tomorrow for dinner with my family and one for the house!
And in between the bread rising and baking I splatter
painted some fabric for future rock and roll skirts! As you can see! I wish everyday could be a day off “work”. One day.
I also officially started my future farm savings account last night so I’m
ready to get serious!
